Where are you from? Planet earth, specifically France/Switzerland. Algerian (berber, kabyle) father, Franco-Swiss mother with a few italians and austrians running along my family tree. I currently attend university somewhere in North America. 

Religion? I am a godless soul. 

What sort of music do you listen to? Anything, but my heart only truly beats for classical music.

What are some of your favourite films? A Prophet; Swimming Pool, Le Diner de Con, La règle du jeu; Life Is Beautiful; 

Do you drink/smoke/drugs? I drink on occasions, usually wine or unnecessarily elaborate cocktails. I do not smoke or do drugs. An espresso does the trick for me. 

Which are your best and worst personality traits? Laziness. 

What do you do?  I study physiology, neuroscience and biomedicine at university. What a geek you may say, but I prefer the term intellectual badass. 

What is your relationship status? In a relationship with myself.

Why did you start a tumblr? To escape somewhere no one could touch. The twisted only child syndrome, you see…

What’s your Myers Briggs Type? Believe it or not, I get this question often. There is something about tumblr and the MBTI. I am a INTJ which is a polite way of saying how disagreeable one is. 

Do you practice any sports? I’m a runner. There is something soothing about running in the cold air and light drizzle on an october morning. Since my life is not as romantic as I wish it would be, I usually have to run on those frightful machines in the chamber of torture (gym). I always start with four minutes of MIIT before running. I am also a keen swimmer. I also practice Krav Maga and tennis. All of that so I can eat as much chocolate as a need want.

Who are your favourite authors: Alexandre Dumas fils, Waugh, Maupassant, Flaubert, Zola, Camus, Faber, Woolf, Christie, le Carré, Huxley, Rushdie, McEwan…
